Publication number: 20170108554Abstract: A state of charge indicator may include an indicator with a display threshold and an auxiliary cell having an auxiliary cell voltage. The auxiliary cell may be electrically coupled to the indicator such that when a difference between a main cell voltage of a main cell and the auxiliary cell voltage is less than the display threshold, the indicator is inactive and when the difference between the main cell voltage and the auxiliary cell voltage is greater than or about equal to the display threshold, the indicator is active.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: DURACELL U.S. OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Jordan Todorov Bourilkov, Steven Jeffrey Specht, Sergio Coronado Hortal

Patent number: 9551758Abstract: A method of remote sensing a charge includes charging or discharging a capacitor of an RC circuit to a predetermined threshold voltage using a power source. A response signal is provided from a communications module to a handheld computing device comprising a reader system once the capacitor reaches the predetermined threshold voltage. An amount of time taken for the handheld computing device to receive the response signal is determined using a processor. The processor determines charge information using the amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: DURACELL U.S. OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Jordan Todorov Bourilkov, Sergio Coronado Hortal, Steven Jeffrey Specht

Patent number: 9527626Abstract: A collapsible cargo tote is comprised of a bottom with an integral stiffener plate, at least one unitary end wall with an integral stiffener plate hingedly attached to the bottom a center wall and a sidewall, at least one sidewall comprised of three triangular panels, each having a stiffener panel, a center wall comprised of a locking cuff and three triangular panels, each with an integral stiffener panel and an exterior surface covering hingedly attached to each other. The sidewall, end wall and center wall collapse when the locking cuff is unlocked into a collapsed configuration and transitions from a collapsed configuration to an erect configuration when an end wall is raised and the sidewalls, end wall and center wall are raised into a vertical configuration. The locking cuff holds the tote in an erect configuration by the engagement of the locking cuff with the panels of the center wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: The Gem Group, Inc.Inventor: Sergio Coronado
